Hatfield Forest is an ancient royal hunting forest.
No other forest on earth evokes the atmosphere of a medieval hunting forest so completely.
The ancient trees of the forest are like magnificent living sculptures, peaceful giants worn and fragile from centuries of seasons and use. Some of our extraordinary ancient trees are 1,200 years old. Just imagine what these trees have lived through and the stories they could tell.
Whether you want somewhere for the children to run off energy, somewhere you can run to keep fit, or somewhere to walk where you can quietly reflect, you're sure to find your own special place somewhere in Hatfield Forest.
